*PTE Academic Repeat Sentence - Tips and Tricks*

Listening to simple short sentences and repeating them is an easy task if you put in sufficient practice hours before exam. Follow these tips and tricks for getting a high score:

*Focus on the meaning*

If you understand the meaning you will be able to repeat the sentence much more accurately. Trying to remember each and every word on the other hand can become quite burdensome and difficult.

*Don’t mimic the speaker*

Don’t try to mimic the speaker. Instead try to understand and the tone and bring about the same expression in your voice. For example, if the speaker is emphasizing on a point, you can also put stress on it. But if you try to copy the accent, each and every up and down in the speaker’s voice, you will just get confused.

*Remember visually*

Try to see when you hear! Draw a mental picture and when repeating look at that mental picture. This along with taking a few notes is the best way to remember the sentence.

*Abbreviate the sentence*

We don’t recommend this as the preferred method but for some test takers who find it difficult to understand or remember the sentence, this might be the only practical option. In this approach you try to write down the first letter of each word or the first few letters of each words. When you speak you will look at this short form and use it to reproduce the complete sentence.

*Brush up your vocabulary*

Go through the Academic word list and make sure you are familiar with the words that are most likely to appear in an exam like PTE. Knowing the words means you will easily recognize and remember them when you hear a sentence.

*Get used to listening English audio*

If you do not work or study in an English speaking environment or are new to it, you must get used to listening and speaking English in the days before your PTE Exam.
